问题                      The Success of Cindy Hess
    Cindy Hess began her automotive career as a Design and Development Engineer with Chrysler, in the fall of 1977. Today, she is Vice-President of Daimler Chrysler, and head of the Small Car Platform Engineering Department which is directly responsible for the design and development of the Neon, Dodge Viper, and all future small cars.
    " Many different departments are involved in bringing a product to market, " said Hess, referring to the 2000 Neon. "A company looks into renewing a particular vehicle when its marketplace demand is good, and the profits increase our shareholder’s value, " explained Hess. "We look to our market research in determining which options we’ll keep the same or delete, and which ones we want to add to improve our appeal. "
    Now that the Neon 2000 is on the market, her team will use survey and research results to determine which option packages work best for the consumer, and what improvements, if any, need to be made. And the beat goes on.
    Hess supervises 1, 200 engineers while managing a successful life as wife and mother. Her secret, she said, is to "always try to give 150 percent in everything I do. The only way I can really balance my work and family is by ’ cheating at both ends, ’ for example, " Hess said, " I always take my boys to school on the first day of the year—so I come in a little late. A few times a year I leave work for a couple of hours to see my son in a play or to attend his swim meet.
    Like most other successful women in the auto industry, Hess’s day begins early and ends late, In her case, coaching her son’s basketball game ends some of Hess’s days. " Occasionally, " she adds, "I come in to work on the weekends to catch up on paperwork and mail and have also been known to be called to work while I am on vacation. "  
Which of the following statements is true of Cindy?
选项 A、She always makes sure to attend the big events in the life of her sons.
B、She comes to office on most weekends to catch up on her work.
C、She always gives priority to work rather than to her family.
D、She seldom has time to take a holiday.
答案A
解析 本题是细节考查题。题目是：下面有关辛迪的表述中哪个是正确的?选A的依据是第四段最后一句：“I always take my boys to school on the first day of the year…A few times a year I leave work for a couple of hours to see my son in a play or to attend his swim meet．”这些细节说明了选项A她总是保证在她儿子生活中重大事件发生时在场，是符合文意的。选项B错误的原因在于加班的频率不应是“most weekends”而是“occasionally”。选项C错在本文强调她能平衡工作和生活，并没有提到她更重视工作或是家庭。选项D错在文章只提到海斯曾在度假时被叫回工作，并未提及她度假的频率。
